| I have always been smitten with the Bolivian “cholitas” (campesina) fashion of bowler hats. Who started this, trend, how, and why? I can just imagine some itinerant hat vendor, recently having made the buy of a lifetime (!), treking from village to village through the Andes and spreading rumors that in the next town over these new bulbous hats are all the rage. Or not. Investigation is called for. Meanwhile, elsewhere in Latin America folks adapted, evolved and invented right up to the present day – where torn jeans, NBA logo hats, and hiphop sounds are the new bee’s knees. Let’s go back, shall we, to an earlier time when Chileans danced the cueca, accordions ruled Colombia, and Puerto Ricans sang of the harvests instead of worrying about when the electricity might come back.
